hi all, ive got a corsa c with tsw venom et40 17" wheels and im noticing a lot of scrubbage occuring, i have had the arches rolled and debolted but still have the problem and i think it may be getting worse either that or im just noticing it more, thing is im pretty much outta cash so wanna know whats the most economical way that i can sort it, would poly bushes harden my suspension so there wasnt so much play or do i need new wheels or suspension?, i have a kit fitteed so really do not want to lower it anymore. thx 4 any help

Its because they are ET40 mate. Perfect corsa offset is ET49, ET 45 is ok though.
How much it is lowered?

also if i had an et45-49 offset they rub against my brakes and then i need spacers and extended bolts and stuff and ive had problems with that bfore ie my wheel flying off, so i would rather not raise the offset,most places szay et-40 shouldbe fine as far as i know

et40 is fine on 15 iinch wheels dropped about 40mm but is no good for 17inch wheels dropped 60mm.
I have et 45 17 inch wheels dropped -60mm and they rub on the rear, i need some 50mm springs or some rubber spacers between the coils at the rearto stop them compressing too much

if it's scrubbing on the front just cut some of the plastic liner out that will cure it
